Selective CO₂ uptake mimics dissolution in highly fluorinated non-porous crystalline materials

Separation of CO₂ from gas mixtures is a major application focus for porous materials. Now it has been shown that fluorinated non-porous crystalline materials can uptake CO₂ via mobile perfluoroalkyl regions, a process resembling the dissolution of CO₂ in perfluoroalkanes, while CH₄ uptake is hindered. In situ X-ray diffraction data provide insight into the sorption process.

Natural products inspire the development of pseudo-natural products through combinations of fragments of compound classes that are chemically and biologically distinct. Here, the authors report a library of 244 pseudo-natural products, evaluate them in the cell painting essays and identify the phenotypic role of individual fragments.

Linking electrocatalytic turnover to elementary step rates in hydrocarbon fuel oxidation

The electrocatalytic oxidation of propane fuel is slow on Pt. By analyzing the rate of its individual steps, the authors show that slow propane oxidation is caused by a mismatch between the electrode potentials that promote propane adsorption, conversion of intermediates, and oxidation to CO₂.
